In a place that has no ends and beginnings.
A place, that has nothing but endless sea of darkness, a place that is no different to the void itself.
And within such a place, lies an orb of light, a ball that brightly shines within this sea of darkness, an orb that in truth is a soul itself.
The soul themselves looked no different to a floating lightbulb, that floated aimlessly within the void. Almost as if they are lost within this endless abyss.
That is indeed the case.
Because in a way, the soul is truly lost within this endless sea of the abyssal void. And they are not only lost; the soul themselves also has no memory or clue who they are either.
(AN: I felt calling the MC as they is the right way. Since MC wouldn't knew what a man or a he or she is at this moment of the fanfic.)
They have no clue what their name used to be.
Why they are floating endless in this abyss of the void.
Their hobbies.
Their parents.
Their friends.
And even their life and knowledge.
Everything about them is blank, as if they have lost everything about themselves in the passing of time, while aimlessly floating in this abyssal sea known as the void.
This is why, even as many eons has passed in the void, the soul did the only thing they knew to do, that is to aimlessly wonder this void, that is infamously known to have no beginnings nor do this abyssal sea of darkness has any ends.
Not to say, this is the only thing the soul knew what to do, as they have no knowledge of memories of themselves.
Which is why, like always, this ball of light, the soul they are, floated aimlessly like a lost child, in this sea of abyssal, known as the void.
With no goal to go to, or any reason to aimlessly float forward, the soul did what it always done, and the only thing they knew, that is to aimlessly travel this dark place, that has no ends or beginnings.
Or that was the plan, for the clueless soul, that suddenly halted hovering forwards, and remain in place. When they sense something strange before them.
And it happened, something that never once happened in their blank memories, something unusual happened.
What happened, was a flash of blinding light flashed before the clueless lost soul in this abyssal sea. Who watches both in curiosity and wonder, as this blinding light soon became to fade away, but left something behind.
And that something, was a person, a man that stood within the sea of darkness, as if the empty void under them, is solid, how the man could stand there.
The clueless lost soul looked at the strange thing, the man before them.
Only to found how strange it is, as the soul tried to look at the face of this person, that came from the blinding light.
But for some reason, no matter how they looked at the man's face, they cannot remember what this person looked like, or what expression this man has, who also stared at them.
It felt as if reality is altering and preventing the lost soul from seeing the face of this man. Making them seems like they don't have a face, even if that isn't the case.
Besides the unseeable expression and face.
The man that appeared from the bright flashing light, is wearing a long stylish shirt, and plain shorts, along with sandals on their feet.
No matter how one looked at this, one will think the unseeable face man is going on some kind of holiday how he is dressed.
{Hmm, why is there a soul doing in this place? Lost perhaps?}
Askes the man, which for some reason, speaking words that the lost soul never heard of. And strangely yet, the clueless soul knew of their words, even if they is nothing in their sea of knowledge.
And what else, as the faceless man looked at the lost clueless soul.
For some reason the soul felt strange, as if they are naked before the faceless man, almost like the man before the soul, can see through everything about the clueless soul, as the man can see the whole existence the lost soul truly is.
{Isn't this fascinating? But the same time, how unfortunate as well. To think I will encounter such a thing while travelling in this void. While I can recover your lost memories, but I rather not, not to say, the other you will refer I didn't either.}
Went the man, causing question marks to appeared around the soul, as they didn't understand a thing they saying.
{I expect as much. No wonder why I found this interesting in a way. In a way, you are no different to a newborn, but at the same time, you also not.}
Said the man, who walked onto the void, as if it was made of a harden surfaced. And came before the floating confused soul, who just floated before the man, as he came close to him.
{Here is the thing, what should I do? I might not look like it, but I am a God, and a powerful one at that. Currently this is none of my business, you are not the only lost soul out there, nor you will be the last one. And overlooking this, will do me no harm.
However, while I have no reason or duty to do anything for you boy. It also be a shame, if I were to leave you be in this place. So what do you say boy? Do you wanted to be reincarnated? It is something the other you would like but also dislike the same time.}
Of course, even if the man who seems to be called God, askes the lost soul such a thing, the soul itself didn't understand a single word.
They have no clue what this reincarnated thing even is. Or why do they feel like they knew what a boy is. But seeing the faceless man calling them a boy, does that mean, they are a boy?
{In a way, you are, but not at the same time you currently not. You were a boy, since the other you used to be a man. So it only fair to call you a boy, because of that, not like you will understand that.}
Went the one called God, causing the lost soul to wonder why they kept mentioning this other thing, it feels like God is referring this other as themselves, but not at the same time. Causing the lost soul to become even more confused than before.
{I expected as much, but recovering your memories will be…. Less entertaining and interesting to say the least. Not to say, the other you wouldn't like that either, that is why it so interesting in many ways. Enough about that my boy.
Since you not in the state to consent. I will pick on your behalf and choose to reincarnate you. But simply reincarnating someone, is not my style, I like this approach more instead.}
When God said that, they snapped their fingers, and when they did, a series of wheels with arrows on them, appeared behind God.
Of course, seeing such things besides themselves, and this faceless man, got the clueless lost soul attention, as they looked at the wheels in both interest and curiosity.
{Everything is by chance, a stroke of luck that accompany by fate, that is my style. Not knowing what will come next, is always more exciting when you don't know what will happened. That is why I don't like seeing into the future, even if I am capable of doing so, things are meant to be seen before you, not beforehand, not like you will understand that, boy.}
Went God, who laughed a little at the end. Before a beam of light shine on one of the wheels.
{All of the wheels are the stroke of luck, random chances, but each wheel are different to each other. Meaning not all of these wheels you see boy, will be spin, but the one with the light shine on, is the first one will be span.}
{And this first wheel is what I call the Wheel of Reincarnation. This wheel will foretell how you will be reincarnated, will you be reborn as a baby, or will you take over someone else body that already exists? Or will you be reincarnated in a body that I will create? And when you will be reborn, will you be Human like you was in your last life, or will you become something else?}
When God said that, the wheel with the arrow that the light shined on, began to span around. Of course, this caused the clueless lost soul startled, not expecting it could spin like this.
While the clueless soul has no clue what's going on, God spoken again, from the moment this wheel thingy's arrow pointed at 'Created Body – Human'.
{Hahaha, I should expect as much, to be startled by something anyone will knew as common sense. Even way, looks like I had to create your new body. I go with the usual, handsome, but also wild vibe, along with the perfect package downstairs, not like you will understand. It just… let say, very common request for those in the same situation as yourself.}
God went with a chuckle, clearly amused by the lost soul reaction by all of this. Of course, the soul in question has no clue what God meant by any of this. And a shame it is, God clearly has no intentions to explain what he meant.
Instead, God once again snapped his fingers, making the light shining on top of the wheel to fade, only for the very same beam of light to shine onto another different wheel.
{The second wheel is called Wheel of Worlds. Normally there should be another wheel, one to determine what kind of universe you will go into, one based on fiction, one based on non-fiction, or the same universe you came from before your death.}
{However, going to a different world, meant I have to either create it from scratch, or do a favour to another God, who might or might not be more powerful then me, which not many, counting who I am. And fiction worlds… there many out there, making things easy and quick for someone like me, who don't have much time, you see.}
{Now then, let see, what universe will you enter. By the way, these universes are based on the memories of other you.} God went with, as the second wheel began to spin as well.
While clueless the soul is, the lost soul looked at the second wheel, that has many different words they could understand.
From something known as 'Overlord', 'Attack on Titan', 'Dragon Ball', and many more that the soul only managed to read so many of them, before those titles faded, as the arrow stopped at something called 'Fairy Tail'.
